  1. Best Buy for the Buck review by RadarRunner1 on 9/7/2014

    Very easy to use! Mount it up, plug it in, set audio to desired, set to Auto Mode, and you are protected!! Once you get used to the sounds of the different alerts you do not even have to look! The smart cord canceling is a bonus... just click to mute, signal strength is still visual! The minor problem I had was my wife kept complaining that she did not have an X50 so I purchased hers, it is quiet now except for real alerts!!!

  2. Feel naked without it! review by Jimmyjack on 6/26/2013

    Instant on radar got me first day. Cop said he was giving me a ticket only because of my radar detector. My intent (having the detector) made him decide not to let me off the ticket. He felt very enabled.
